Update: The deadline mentioned below has been extended 120 days, until July 9, 2012.  For information, see "Court: 4 More Months for DNSChanger-Infected PCs."

Do you use a Windows or Macintosh computer off-campus?  If it is infected with certain malicious software, Internet functions (email, web browsing, and so on) may stop working on March 8.  That is when a court order protecting computers from some of the effects of the DNSChanger trojan expires.  To test whether your computer is infected, you may want to run the tests documented by the DNS Changer Working Group (DCWG) . 

For more information, do a search for "DNSChanger", or read these articles.
